* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' became the TropeNamer when it was aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'', pioneering the technique to avoid cutting the many plot-critical scenes set in hot springs or baths. The best part is seeing the bathing suits painted on characters wearing tightly wrapped towels around them. These days, the digital bikini isn't used as much to cover nudity in anime series. They mostly use CensorSteam, [[BarbieDollAnatomy digitally remove offending body parts]], or cut/shorten scenes of nudity. The last anime series to use digital clothes to cover nudity was ''Anime/BlueGender'', where Marlene was seen with a digitally-rendered towel around her naked body in a locker room scene.

* Played straight and then subverted with the remake of ''VideoGame/LaMulana''. When it was being designed for the US WiiWare a strip of cloth was added to the topless statues in the Tower of the Goddess. These were later removed in future updates of the PC version.

* ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' had similar edits in the Disney XD dub, however for even milder scenes (fairly modest two-piece bikinis were repainted into one-piece bikinis on one occasion and a dress on another, and in another instance a comic shot of a boy's rear end got digital underwear).

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' localization follows Nintendo of America's guidelines with depiction of nudity. The Esper Siren was originally shown with a bare butt, but was edited to wear shorts in the US SNES version (released as ''Final Fantasy III''). PS1 version retains the original. The GBA port had her partially covered, not as much as the SNES version.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', Johnny Sasaki is seen bent over with his butt in the air in his underwear in the Japanese version. In the US version, on the other hand, the underwear is removed and replaced with a pixelized censoring. The pixelized version did NOT make it into the US release of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots MGS4]]'', and you can see what they were trying to cover up in the original PS1 version anyway by [[{{Squick}} crawling right next to his ass and using your binoculars to zoom through the pixellization.]]

* The introduction movie for the PlayStation version of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Edge]]'' has Sophitia interrupted whilst bathing by a god appearing from the water. In the Japanese version she's naked, but everywhere else she's wearing a white swimsuit. Although to their defense, at very least the swimsuited version is playable.
